    Theyre not showing the top of the heads, figured thats something that you wouldnt overlook :huh:

    I wouldnt chance $300 on something that looks like that...if hes too careless to clean them up for the ad how careless do you think he was in maintaining the car they were on? lol

    were the 70 --351 heads off a 2 barrel car or a 4 barrel car. The 2 barrel heads are the better 1's. from the 70's.JMO :)

    Not sure how much actual horsepower you will see, but here is a cut-and-paste of one of my earlier posts on a different thread...
    The intake flow numbers of the gt40s vs the 351 isn't much different, but there is a bit more exhaust flow on the gt40s.

    They list 1969 351W 4V cylinder heads. No such thing.
    The difference between an 1969 H code (351-2V) and an M code (351-4V) were the pistons and the intake manifolds. Pretty sure that the cams were the same.

    351 Cleveland's and 1968 302's had 2V and 4V cylinder heads. Either one or both of those could be the confusion.
